Shuffled Wednesday - New Year's Day 2025

Happy New Year! I figured we'd help deal with the fresh hell that 2025 will be serving up regularly by reviving this blog. 

(I originally planned to do this on Mondays, starting next week, but hit upon a great idea last night thanks to my favorite bit from "Ted Lasso" so Wednesdays it is.)

What does the Little Blue Touch have in store to kick off the new year? Let's...Hit...Shuffle!

The Decemberists - June Hymn
Aretha Franklin - Who's Zoomin' Who
Laura Nyro & Labelle - Jimmy Mack
The Beatles - In My Life
Wilco - In a Future Age (Alternate Version)
Ray Charles - Here We Go Again
Jason Isbell - 24 Frames
The Belfast Cowboys - Precious Time
The Monkees - Sunny Girlfriend
Ivy - Twisting

Bonus 11
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - My Love Will Not Let You Down (Live in New York City)

Weird that it's such an old mix, with nothing newer than Isbell's tune, which turns ten later this year. Go check out the Laura Nyro & Labelle (before "Lady Marmalade" made the latter famous) album if you haven't already. Been listening to a lot of Wilco lately since I was unable to attend their recent three-night stint in St. Paul. Brother Ray sings some Country AND Western. The Belfast Cowboys are a local band that's been playing mostly Van Morrison covers for a couple of decades and are a ton of fun live. Ivy was the side project of Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger, and dammit, it's coming up on five years since the early days of COVID took him.

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("We gotta play 'em twice in the same WEEK?"), already in progress.
